WILF 50,006 Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 He was a professional soldiier, he stepped off the parade ground and got caught it happens and is part of the turmoil of conflict. Personally I dont think he should have been prosecuted he acted in a humane way . His downfall was his comment regarding breaking the Geneva Convention which should be torn up war is war. I hope the judges see the reality of the situation and send him home to his wife and kids. Are you f***ing deluded? Tear up the Geneva convention? The Geneva convention is not fit for purpose and most signatories observe it when it suits them. much like many things in the public domain bull shit prevails over reality read some of the Submissions in the UN about the Convention incidentaly another organisation that needs to be revised and reconstructed. an organisation that for political needs has 6 countries as permanent members and they have the power as individual members to Veto the Will of the entire assembly LOL Democracy in action and I am deluded LOL I don't think the Geneva convention covers goats and villages of shepherds so you don't have to worry about it.

Malt 379 Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I've read several accounts that say during some of the major assaults in the falklands war Argentinian solders were shot even though they tried to surrender, the Army/Marines couldn't have taken them captive even if they'd wanted to. I bet that kind of stuff has happened loads. I remember reading about a bayonet charge in the Iraq war, I couldn't believe what I was reading even though I've spent my entire life researching WW2 and other wars. I naively thought stuff like that was ancient history...I guess that's thanks to the sanitized media reporting. We just don't know what kind of situation that squad was facing at the time funny old war the falklands it's hard get your head around fighting with pride to claim an island 1000s of miles away. A lot of lives wasted there.Not really, we went there and won our people there their home back..buddy it's somewhere you colonised so if you pullute the place with immigrants for a hundred year that makes it yours maybe London should be invaded by muslims considering they are the majority religion have a vote now and do well and have a vote in 20 years and will you still believe in democracy when their the majorityHow do you think we all got where we are in the first place?? We're all colonists from somewhere else.. They were the first to settle there, they weren't immigrants.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
